The Steelmen head to Hertfordshire on Saturday to take on Colney Heath in the Emirates FA Cup First Qualifying Round.
The Steelmen go into the clash on the back of a fine 3-2 away win against Bedworth United, a victory that sent Corby to the top of the table for at least 24 hours!
Goals from Crawford, Dean and Duffy gave the Steelmen their first 3 points on the road this season and maintained our unbeaten start to the 2019/20 season.
Opposition
Colney Heath are the current Hertfordshire Charity Shield holders and will be looking to match their best run in the FA Cup, a record they set 2 seasons ago. They play in the Spartan South Midlands Premier Division and reached this stage of the competition with a fine 2-0 home win against Eastern Counties League Premier Division Long Melford.
A 4-0 win against London Lions in the FA Vase this past weekend saw the Magpies set a modern day record of 18 games undefeated going back to early March, and also makes it 11 wins in a row since a 1-1 draw v Cockfosters on 13th April
HOW THEY GOT HERE
Colney Heath entered in the Extra Preliminary round and travelled to Haverhill Rovers. Goals from Jack Woods and Sam Dolan gave them a convincing 2-0 lead the the break before Woods, Fitzgerald, Clements and Blunden sealed a 6-1 win and a home clash with Long Melford.
This time it was a goal in each half from Spencer Clarke-Mardel that sealed the 2-0 victory and a home clash with the Steelmen!
